o Kerzen, eitizens of tbe United Stute of Unio, iis-ve invented u ein; useful imnovenients in vvlell-Pullobines, of vvliieli tbe following is ai etes to Well Pulling mo.- p eoislly adapted for applying roving' tubes, sucker rods, or oesurrs,

' o or freni oil Wells and for boiling and cleanand generally speaking our inveno1' e une supported. upon propelling' und. steering Wheels, s winding; drum,

rnsiu. drivingy slmft adapted to impart ino- .tion 'to' tbe drinn and propelling Wheels, en

engine, and gearing ei'lapted to transmit motion from tbe ong-ino to the nniinflriving` shaft.

@ne objeet of our invention is to 'provide nieens adapted to beopereted to connect the drum to tbe nisin eriving sbzrft und dise-onnect the propellingr wheels therefrom, or to connect tire propelling; Wheels to the mein drivingr slisft sind dis-connect tbe drum tberefrom.

Another ob' of our invention is to provide e gearing adopted to be operated to @suse the drurn to rotate in s 'winding direci n :it o. inininruin or maximum speed, or to rotate in s winding' direction et oinsxinium speed.

Another object of our invention is to provide o. gearing adapt-ed to be operated to cause tbe propfellingl wheels to rotate in e forward dii -ction at s niininuin or nmxiinuin speed, *u rotste in s rearward' direction et fin in speed.

TWith tne above und other objects in vieiv, the invention consists in tl'ie construction, combination end arrangement of @erts bereinafter fully described, olsiined and illustrated in the accompanying dra-Wings, wherein:

Figure 1 is e top plan view of a Well pulling ineoiine constructed in accordance with our invention, the derriek und derriok supporting bers being omitted.. Fig. 2 is e view in sidev elevation thereof. Fig. 3 is e detail view of the gearing', the gear casing being in section. Fig'. 4- is u View in side elevation of one of tne geerings and. the ine-:ins for opere-ting the seine. Fig, is n view in 'front elevation thereof. Fig. 6 is s detail view ofthe ineens for operating the gearing disclosed in Fig. 5, and Fig. 7 is e side elevation of another ges-r in;r and the means for operating,-T tbe seme.

Referring; to tbe drawings by reference nunierels, 2 designates the propelling Wliee s and 3 the steering Wheels, upon the vaxles 4% of which is mounted the main freine ot tbe machine. The mein freine consists of longitudinal beams or girders 6-7 and cross beams or girders SMQ 10V-il. Supporting bore l2 are secured in spaced relation to the cross beenis or gir-ders 9--10 and extend longi tudinally of the ino-in. freine, Wliile supporting bers 13 are secured in spaced relation to the longitudinal benin or girder 7 and tbe supporting' bar 12 end extend transversely of the main freine.

A mein drivingr shaft 141 is journeled in bearings 15 secured to one of tbe su. porting bers l2 and to the longitudinal Seen; or girder 6, and has keyed thereto a fixed drive- Wheel 16. drinn 17 providedwitlie plurality of Winding surfaces of varying diameters, is journsled neer tire forward end of the mein frame in besrings 1S secured to the lon- 4gitudinsl beams or girders 6 7, and is pro vided with sprocket-wheel 19. The free member of tbe Clutch is mounted u on the .niein driving sbeft 14 end is provider with e. sprocket-Wheel to permit the application of a eliain 21 'thereto and to the sproolet-Wlieel 1Q, whereby the drum may be rotated from the mein driving shaft 1&1. The freeniember 22 of another clutch is also mounted upon the main. driving shaft 14, and is provided with s sprocket-Wheel 23 to permit tire application of s chain 24 thereto and to a compensating gear 25 iixed to the axle 5`of the ropelling Wheels 2, whereby the propo ing Wheel may be. rotated from the ,mein driving shaft. The fixed and slidsble members 26- ,2? of the olutohes are mounted upon the mein driving sliuft 14 end are respectively adopted to be moved into engagement with the clutch members 20-'22 when it is delingwlieels 2. y

A bracket erin 28 is secured to the longitudinal beam or girder 6 and has pivotally secured to one of its ends s lever 29, said lever having :t pivotal connection with the clutch member 27 A lever 30 is pivotally secured to tbe other end of the bracket erm 28 and nos pivotal conneotion with the clutch member 26, seid lever having its oWer end formed to provide a. liendie 31.. 'lille levers 29--30 ere connected for simulteneus movement by e ylink 32, whereby when t .e lever 30 is op ereted in one direction the clutch member 26 is moved into engagement with the clutch member 20, and the clutch member 27 moved tetion with the mein driving shaft 14 end the drum 17 disoonneeted'tberefrom. An engine 33v of the explosive tank is secured to the sup orting bers 13, the explosive 20 oylindertbereof bein provided with gesolene from` a tank 34, W. ile the cooling jeclret thereof is provided with Water from the tank 35, said tanks being secured to the cross beams or girdere lil- 11.

The shaft 86 vof the engine 33 ie provided with e fly-Wheel 37 and gear Wheels 238--39y having, respectively, different diameters. I

A. gear caeing 40 1s journaled'ior oscillation upon e shaft 41 secured to the su porting bers 12. A shaft 42 is journeled inll 43 carried by the casing 40 end is provided with a geef Wheel44 adapted to mesh with the smaller gear Wheel 38; Another shaft 45 is journaled in bearings 46 carried by the easing 40 and is grovided with e gear Wheel 47 which is adepte to mesh with the larger gear Wheel .39., It should be thus apparent. that' tbe -shefts 42-45 ere rotated 1n the seme direotion at different speeds, the shaft 42 being rotated et 'e lesser speed than is rotated tbe shalt 45. A friction gear 48 4is keyed upon the shaft 42, While e friction gear 49 is keyed upon the shaft 45.

When it is desired to have the drum 17 ro` tete in e Winding direction or the propelling Wheels 2 in e forward/direction at e, minimum s eed, the gear casing 40 is oscilleted to bring tbe eer 48 in engagement With tbe drive whe 16, While when it is desired to have the 50 drum 17 or the propelling 'wheels 2 rotatein seid directions et a maximum speed, the gear casing 40 is oscilleted to bring,` the geel' 48 into engagement with the drive Wheel lo, The means by which the ceeing'40 ie oseillated consists of e shaft 50 journaled in beeringe` 5152, respectively, carried by the' r@crees beam or girder-8 and the longitudinel bea-m .or girder 6; eecentrics 53-54 secured' to the shaft 50'; links 555-436, res eetivelyeecured et their opposite ends to t e eccentries Lend the u per end lower ends of the seeing 40, and e ever 57 removably secured to one l end oithe shaft 50. When the leve-1' 57, ie moved in one direction, the gear 48 is 'brought into engagement with the drive' journeled in e beering brecket.
